Rating Border Combatants’ Uniforms B-Rank Edition (Part 2):

Nasu Squad: B-Rank 007

Rei Nasu. Squad Captain, Shooter, and fashion icon. She pulled off the greatest feat of design since Border’s founding. Something other squad captains can only dream of doing. Absolutely incredible. There isn’t another uniform that tops it. The futuristic vibes, the purple accents against the black and white, it’s everything. 1000/10.

Yuba Squad: B-Rank 008

70s off-duty cop vibes. The three neutral colors look weird together. Yuba just kind of looks like an asshole. Obishima was done so dirty. Yuba, get her in some high waisted pants and a cropped version of the jacket! She looks so awkward! 3/10.

Suzunari-1: B-Rank 009

Disgusting. The cropped jackets and Ko’s 3/4 sleeves do not work here. Honestly, 3/4 sleeves don’t work anywhere. Never wear a top with them. Whoever let these poor boys choose this look deserves a prison sentence. If you’re going to crop the jacket then you should either crop the shirt underneath or wear high-waisted bottoms. Otherwise you end up looking like that one girl in middle school whose mother was against crop tops so she made her wear a camisole underneath them. On top of that, the color choice looks weird with Ko and Tatsuya’s hair. Lastly, someone should take Taichi’s hat and burn it. 0/10

Arafune Squad: B-Rank 010

It’s giving me designer tracksuit vibes. Like I feel like its Louis Vuitton or something. Rin’s hair looks super good so bonus points for that. But we all know Arafune is super hot without the baseball cap. Give the people what they want. Let us see his hair. 7.5/10.

Katori Squad: B-Rank 011

I hate this. First, it’s canon that Katori purposely ripped off aspects of both Nasu Squad and Konami’s uniforms. Second, it’s just horrible. It fits the boys so awkwardly. It only sort of works on Katori because hers is a little different. It’s something straight out of my nightmares. It’s like if Barbie went to space (in a very bad way). 3/10.

Suwa Squad: B-Rank 012

The way this uniform is simultaneously a mess and also SO Suwa. Like if the look worked I’d be worried. It’s ugly as you can see, but also the mismatched undershirts just add that extra chaos to it. *Chef’s kiss* Ugly, but on theme. 5.5/10

Kizaki Squad: B-Rank 013

I like the matching headphones, but the color is no good. They look like traffic cones. The jacket design is boring. They should have at least added stripes or something. Plain, boring. 4/10.

Part 1

[stray-inu-writes]

Heyo! In honor of Hiura in the last 2 chapters, could we have some Nasu squad headcanons?

Yes ! Nasu squad ! I was rooting for them for the last chapters and I’m so glad they won, honestly. These girls deserved it at 100%. So, moving on to the headcanons…

According to the BFF’s graphs (as always), Kumagai was the first to enlist so she was the one who brought the squad together. However, Nasu became the captain because of two things : first, Kumagai doesn’t like to be in the spotlight, secondly, because some people seem to be unable to read the characters in her name and she doesn’t want to cause problems in Rank Wars (yeah, I’m looking at you Kei Tachikawa)

The one who designed the squad’s uniform is Sayoko, who likes to do digital drawing in her free time. The girls wanted an elegant and distinctive design, being one of the two female-only squads in Border and obviously looking up to Kako squad.

Since they are either an only child or have only brother, the girls consider themselves sisters and when they’re not busy with Border stuff, bond like a family. That’s why Akane’s departure is so hard to stomach for the others : it’s like seeing their little sister leave.

One of their main rules is solidarity. If one of them has a problem, the others will drop everything to go and help her, not matter what they’re doing. Whether it’s some creepy guy harassing Nasu or Akane’s urgent homework, they can be sure to get support. Sayoko probably advises Kumagai to punch Jin harder because of his disrespectful behavior towards women. There was this one time where he did the same to Nasu when she was in her trion body : he never, ever, tried again.

Sayoko actually leaves her house for other things than Border duty (she did for Akane’s departure, after all) : birthdays are one of these special occasions. The team also celebrates the formation of the squad’s birthday at Nasu’s house every year.

Nasu is hinted to have some kind of disability that prevents her to have full mobility (maybe paraplegy ? Since when she’s at home she just lays down in bed) so she is in her trion body most of the time. The others member knew of her disability since the beginning and they will kick the ass of anyone who tries to make fun of her for not being « normal ».

Once every three months, they have a sleepover where they are forbidden to talk about Border stuff and just have fun together like four normal teenagers. They usually play games that Sayoko took with her and talk about everything.

Sometimes, Nasu invites her cousin Narasaka to their meetings. It’s always useful to have the advice of a senpai from an A-Rank unit and weirdly enough, Kumagai always dresses up when she knows he’s coming. They eat together but he can’t enter Nasu’s room.

Narasaka is overall a good mentor to Akane, similar to Reiji and Chika minus the trion monster part. He’s very patient with her, but he expects of her to always do her best. Under his mentorship, Akane talked a lot with Kodera, since they’re both Narasaka’s pupils. He doesn’t tolerate excuses and when they have a training scheduled, is never late. Sayoko finds this no-nonsense attitude very funny, although she never really interacted with him.

It’s known that Kumagai and Sayoko are the strategist of the team, so they probably have their own « brainstorming » sessions without involving the two others. Said sessions are always online meetings via video chat and it’s not uncommon that they end up talking about something completely unrelated at the end, after they spent a long time analyzing various strategies depending on the map. Consequently, when they have to choose the map, Kumagai and Sayoko are always the ones who do so.

Nasu and Kumagai have a similar hair length because it’s more practical in the battlefield, especially for a swordswoman like Kumagai. They decided together to cut it after a match where one of the opponents tried to grab Kuma’s hair (that was long at the time) to throw her off-balance, an experience that they don’t want to have again, hence the relatively short hair. Additionally, Akane dyed her hair pink once she got into Border because she thought it looked cool and she wanted to be like a manga heroine.

It’s canon that Nasu has got a lot of admirers within Border so every year at Valentine’s day she’s gifted a lot of chocolat that she shares with the team. Occasionally, boys ask her out and every time they have to undergo a careful investigation by the other members of Nasu squad. However, these dates seldom work out in the end.

Akane owns a large amount of cat plushies that her teammates gifted to her and she absolutely loves them.
